Best wet pet

[Gourami Swami]

So Rapps has some Amphilophus sagittae (Creamsickle)
I am considering getting 6, grow out, let them pair up keep the best pair, rehome the rest.
My questions are
1) how big 12in range?
2) can keep with catfish,plecos?
3) dithers? Sailfin Mollys, Congo tetras, skip dithers they will shred them
4) plants? Or keep it to rocks driftwood

They will be going in my new 125g. Is this big enough for a pair? Or should I just do a single male?

Edit:Think I could also grow out an oscar boyfriend for Toni at the same time. All would be 1.5in or so to start with

Sagittae get about 12" max, one of the slightly smaller species from what I have read. I had a friend spawn them in a 75 gallon, though I think 125 would be much better. As far as dithers, they might put up with some big barbs. I think livebearers etc would be too fragile. Convicts might work as well. Plecos are a crapshoot, a breeding pair might take them out. It all depends on your pair.

I know I'm a bit late but how about a synodontis eupterus or some tiger stripe silver dollars for the rare factor?

I’ve had that combo before and wanted to do something different

Wait isn't that a tiger silver dollar in your profile pic?

Yeah it is

Hahaha, I should have noticed that before mentioning them but I guess I was blinded by the beauty of silver dollars

Looks a lovely fish and love the screenshot, is he on his own or does she live with catfish

She does fine with catfish, as long as they have a hideout. I have kept her with different kinds of synodontis and plecos. Currently theres just a pleco in with her.
